Mnttrr What the Attitude of the In
dian, It In Certain That the Roads
Will Bo Opened Viewers Are Now
at Work Surveying the Route.
In order to learn the sentiment ot
the Indians upon the subject of the
three proposed county roads across
the reservation, a general council of
the Indians has been called for to
morrow. The call for the meeting Is
as follows:
"A general council of the Indians of
the Umatilla reservation is hereby
called for Wednesday, May 9, 1906, to
convene at the agency council room at
9 o'clock a. m. on that date.
"This council Is called in pursuance

Ing the matter of establishing roads
across the reservation for the passage
of stock. Supervisor McChesney will
be present at the council.
"A full attendance of all Indian al
lottees of the reservation Is requested.
"O. C. EDWARDS,
' ' "Supt. and Special DIs. Agent."
Just why such action was taken by
the department Is unknown and the
calling of the council has aroused
more or less wonder among those In
terested In the proposition.
Vnder the law roads may be estab
lished across a reservation provided
they are ordered by the county court
and approved by the department. In
compliance with these provisions the
county court now has viewers at work
on the routes of the proposed roads
and It was Intended to forward the
matter to the department through
Major Edwards, within a short time.
This will be done as Intended regard
less of he Indian meeting.
That the Indians will be found op
posed to the road Is feared by those
Interested. But they are also hopeful
and confident that the roads will be
established soon even should the al
lottees be opposed. They contend that
the roads are a necessity In view of
the gographlcal position of the res
ervation and say It Is only a question
of time until this will be recognized
by the government and Justice done.

Question of Filing Certificates
of Nomination is Being
Considered,
COUNTY CLERK BALING WILL
ASK LEGAL ADVICE.
Must Candidates Who Filed Pledge to
Accept Nomination Before Primaries
Be Required to File an Additional
Acceptance If Prohibitionists Are
Accepted as a Party Their Nomina.
lions Cannot Be Placed on Official
Ballot Because, of Having Been Re
ceived Too Late Question Is Very
Puzzling.
When do candidates nomnlated for
offices at the June election have to
file their acceptances? This Is a
problem that is Just now puzzling
Frank Sallng, county clerk. The pro
visions of the direct primary law upon
this subject are vague and seemingly
contradictory. As a result the county
clerk has perused a copy of the law
until It Is nearly worn out, and yet Is
not clear regarding when acceptances
should be filed.
Since candidates who filed nomlnat
ing petitions before the primaries
were required to pledge themselves to
accept nominations If chosen, and not
to withdraw before election, it Is
seemingly useless for a nominee to
file another acceptance. However,
such is called tor and out of an
abundance of caution many have filed
notices of acceptance. However,
quite a few nominees of both parties
have failed to do so.
Under the law It is possible those
wtaol have not filed acceptances may
be left off the ticket It is speciifed
In'the taw that where nominations are
made by political parties or assem
blies acceptances must be filed wltn
80 days of election, while those nom
inated by Individual electors have un
til within 15 days of election to file
their acceptances.
If the prohibitionists are recognized
as a party then the nominations re
cently made at Milton were too late
for the 30 day limit was passed before
any acceptances were filed by the can
dldates named. However, county
Clerk Sallng has placed the nominees
on the list, giving the date upon which
the acceptances reached his office.
In order to fully satisfy himself re
garding the provisions of the law Mr.
Sallng will secure legal advice and
meanwhile candidates who have not
filed acceptances will do well to has
ten.

on similar charges, It Is said.
The alleged discovery that the Mor

Horn county, the largest In the state,

proceedings on charges of polygamy.

VERTISEMENT ON FRIDAY.

man E. J. Murphy of the Finance
Committee BeJIevea the Total Cost
or Paving to tlie City Can Be Kept
Within $14,000 Adjourned Meeting
or Council Will Perhaps Be Held to
Ask for Paving Bids.
Although tomorrow will be the
twelfth day since the council passed
the resolution for the paving ot Main
and Court streets, two days more will
be allowed for the filing of a re
monstrance. This Is because after the
resolution had been published twe
days a slight change was made by Mr.
Carter, then city attorney, and conse
quently the previous time was lost
According to John McCourt, now city
attorney. It would not be safe to count
the first two days of publication as
such action might permit of trouble
in the future. Consequently the reso
lutlon will be published the last time
on Friday, May 11. , .
No Remonstrance on Foot.
- But the extra time for a remon
Btrance will have no effect on the sit
uation for no antl-pavlng movement
Is now on foot From all that can be
learned no effort whatever Is being
made to secure signers for a re
monstrance and apparently the
proposition Is to go through without
trouble. Immediately after the pass
ing of the paving resolution there
was talk among some owners of re
monstrating. However, no one ap
peared willing to lead such a move
ment and nothing definite was done.
Among those disposed against paving
were several good citizens who have
been friends of progress, and they
were unwilling to take the new role
of opposition to street Improvement.
After the time for remonstrating
has expired the next step of the coun
cil will be to advertise for bids for
the bitullthic pavement. This was not
done simultaneously with the publica
tion of the resolution as many sup
posed. As the time will not be up un
til Friday an adjourned meeting will
probably be held at which the re
corder will be authorized to ask for
bids.
Since there Is no remonstrance in
sight the only danger now ahead for
paving Is that the financial condition
of the city may be found lacking at
the last moment. However, this
morning E. J. Murphy, chairman ot
the finance committee, said he be
lieved that by close economy the city
could pull through. He estimates the
city's portion of the expense at
000.
East Court Must Walt
But in order to carry out the pav
ing of the business section he believes
the macadamizing of East Court
street will have to be postponed. In
the opinion of Mr. Murphy the paving
will be all the city can handle tr
summer. However, as many ui mo
East Court street property owners
signed a remonstrance against macad
amizing they will certainly not oojeci
if their Improvement Is delayed.
